Heriot & Tucker to Gen. Marion [Horry MS.] Georgetown, October 31, 1782. Sir: We enclose you the Governor's passports, granted Mr. Selby for the purpose of carrying round to Charlestown the nett proceeds of fifty negroes. The vessel loaded with a considerable part of this property (particulars of which is in the passport) with the Governor's flag besides, is seized by Capt. Milligan, and detained by him. We have wrote the Governor particularly on this business, and of a sloop-of-war stopped in the same manner, and prevented sailing. Col. Lushington has only delivered us Mordecai Myers' and Cohen's accounts, amounting to £20 1s. 4d. sterling, which we have assumed. Soon as we can have the others delivered, we will inform you what balance will be wanting. Capt. Roux shall have the articles you mention, and we shall strictly observe your orders. With respect, we are, sir, your most obdt. servants, HERIOT & TUCKER (From Documentary History of the American Revolution, by Gibbes, Volume 2, pp. 246-247) Doc ID: Gibbes, v. 2, p. 246 Date: 10/31/1782 |
